Cloud Nothings, perhaps the most reliable of the indie rock world’s current saviors, have announced the follow-up to Life Without Sound, one of our favorite records of last year. Called Last Building Burning, it arrives October 19th via Carpark Records.
“I’m obsessed with the idea of energy at the moment,” frontman Dylan Baldi says of the album. “That’s how I thought of this record: seven short, and one long, bursts of intense, controlled chaos. I wanted to make that come across in a way that can actually be felt.”
Lead single “The Echo Of the World” is most certainly chaotic, evoking the frenzied, enveloping noise you’ll hear at one of the band’s live shows. As someone who caught Cloud Nothings at an intimate Chicago gig last week, I can attest that the other new songs they played exuded a similar energy. Hear “Echo Of the World” below.
This is going to be a very, very loud album. Pre-order it here, and check out the album’s artwork and tracklist below.
